It might be Spring where I live, but it's going to Fall/Autumn in the North Hemisphere and lots of the current challenges out there are all about moving from Summer to Fall.
So I have two Fall/Autumn cards to share today.
First up is the card I sent to LaVon as part of the September CCC - Deborah is unwell and Gail is assisting her. I used the sketch that Deborah had designed.
The leaves are from an older Hero Arts set which I embossed and then coloured with watercolours, before fussy cutting. The sentiment is from a freebie set. Finished with some sequins.
My second card uses the same embossing folder
This time I had done some watercolouring on the background before embossing. The leaves were die cut from old book pages with Tattered Leaves die from Tim Holtz/Sizzix. I used a variety of distress inks to sponge on them. Sentiment is from a Winnie & Walter set.
Although it's Spring here and Daylight Saving starts this weekend, it has been a bit wintery with some heavy rain and wind lately. Hoping for some nicer weather coming.
Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciated all of my visitors.

Wonderful cards Dawn - they are both really eye catching!! I have just made a 'fall' themed card too. Yes, we too are a bit 'over' the weather at the moment.
